After months of planning and star-studded pre-wedding celebrations, Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant will marry on July 12 at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai.
The wedding festivities began with a Rihanna-starring Hastakshar (signature) ceremony in Jamnagar, Gujarat. This was followed by another pre-wedding celebration, including a luxury liner trip through Italy, ending in Cannes with a concert by Katy Perry.
The wedding ceremony will occur at the Jio World Convention Center in Mumbai’s Bandra Kurla Complex. The venue covers 1,108,812 square feet and features five modular halls, 25 meeting rooms, and a ballroom suitable for events of all sizes.
The pre-wedding celebrations have already featured private concerts by Rihanna and Katy Perry. The recent sangeet ceremony on July 5 included a performance by Justin Bieber, who was reportedly paid $10 million. Rumours suggest the wedding features performances by Adele, Drake, Lana Del Rey, or all three.
Reuters Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg posed with Anant Ambani, son of Mukesh Ambani, the Chairman of Reliance Industries, and Radhika Merchant, daughter of industrialist Viren Merchant, during their pre-wedding celebrations in Jamnagar, Gujarat, India, on March 2, 2024.
